Success of the week: It seems my morning bike commute is a little tiny bit faster. I still won't get to see the sunrise until after about mid-February, although I'll start to see twilight soon. But then in mid-March the sun will rise an hour earlier when we do that stupid thing with the clock, and then I won't see sunrise again on my bike commute until mid-April.
Struggle of the week: Lost a friend that I've known for over 40 years. His wake is today; I did not travel to the other side of the continent, but I did send a bunch of stories.

Successes/struggles of the week: My weight was all over the place this week, hitting a low of 109.8 at the beginning of the week, to a high of 113.2 at the end of the week, after a couple of days of nice takeout dinners plus ramen, sushi, and pho all in one day. Still averaged out to about the same as the past two weeks. My boyfriend and I braved the cold and went on a hike yesterday, so I got a good amount of steps in then.3 -

No more dark bike rides at 17:30 for the next nine or ten months!
Struggle of the week: We are having several positive tests for COVID at work every day. Thursday and Friday each had at least six.

Struggle/Success: I record my weight once a week on Monday though I weigh myself daily. Glad last Thursday wasn't weigh-in day. I was up to 117. The next day it was 115. It's like the stock market with daily fluctuations. Actually, the higher number helped me to really focus on eating right. The Christmas season got me into some bad habits.4 -
